Final Pep Talk

The soldiers in this picture are receiving an early morning briefing from General Colt about the importance of their mission and the significance of each individual soldier's role. This was immediately before departing on the first leg of the trip to Afghanistan. Some of these soldiers have already been on 3 tours of duty overseas and one is heading back after just recovering from being treated for 6 bullet wounds.
